It’s the roaring twenties, and San Francisco is a hotbed of illegal boozing, raw lust, and black magic. The fog-covered Bay Area can be an intoxicating scene, particularly when you specialize in spirits…
Aida Palmer performs a spirit medium show onstage at Chinatown’s illustrious Gris-Gris speakeasy. However, her ability to summon (and expel) the dead is more than just an act.
Winter Magnusson is a notorious bootlegger who’s more comfortable with guns than ghosts—unfortunately for him, he’s the recent target of a malevolent hex that renders him a magnet for hauntings. After Aida’s supernatural assistance is enlisted to banish the ghosts, her spirit-chilled aura heats up as the charming bootlegger casts a different sort of spell on her...
On the hunt for the curseworker responsible for the hex, Aida and Winter become drunk on passion. And the closer they become, the more they realize they have ghosts of their own to exorcise…
I have fallen in love with Bennett via her YA contemporary books, and have been wanting to read her adult books. As always, Bennett did not disappoint.
All the things she does so well were also present in this book: • a fierce and independent heroine • a swoony and caring hero • open and sexpositive discussion • fun and witty banter
In addition to all that, we also got some suspense and a little bit of a look back at the roaring 20s.
Fun and fabulous with an ending that left me way too happy.
